Deontae Malone is one of the most talented prospects in the buckeye State when it comes to the skill positions. The 6-foot-0, 175-pound prospect is elite after the catch, running through contact and staying on his feet and finishing forward on contact. Undoubtedly his post-catch vision and balance are his strongest qualities. He can get around opposing corners easily in space. Good burst off the LOS.

Malone is an up-and-coming wide receiver for defending state champion Massillon Tigers. He possesses all of the traits you look for in a topflight receiver. At the current time, I project him to the slot position at the next level, but if he keeps growing, I could easily see him play outside as well. Deonte has explosive lateral movement ability as well as the speed to take it to the house. When he gets the ball in the open field, he’s a problem. In a program such as Massillon sometimes players have to wait for their turn, I can’t wait to see Malone‘s number called. The future is bright!
